Patna: Bihar's Transport Minister Ramanand Prasad Singh resigned from his post on Saturday, a day after it was known that he was named in a corruption case.
Singh submitted his resignation to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who forwarded it to Governor R.S. Gavai who accepted the resignation, officials in the chief minister's office said.
Singh was charged with being involved in the purchase of pipes of inferior quality in 1990 when he was posted as a fuel technologist at the Kanti Thermal Power Station in Muzaffarpur district. That was before he entered politics.
